Summary

Merging this adds sandbox.worker.lifecycle.status_count{state, cleanup_state}, counted in SQL from the stored columns: state is always a lifecycle state and cleanup_state is required, failed or none. sandbox.worker.lifecycle.count{state} keeps its exact series, which fold a cleanup into the lifecycle.

Each metric has its own sampler, so a series that disappears is zeroed once without touching the other. Dashboards and monitors that need to tell a failed stop from a failed delete can move to the new metric.

Validation

  • Tests: sandbox_status_counts_keep_each_lifecycle_and_cleanup_pair_apart (plain, required and failed rows sharing a lifecycle, asserting both the status and the legacy counts) and status_buckets_name_the_cleanup_state_and_zero_a_disappeared_series_once.
  • Store and sampler tests cover the counted pairs and zeroing.
  • Locally: rustfmt --check on every changed Rust file. Rust was not compiled locally, so CI on this head is the build and test evidence.

Severity and risk

Severity: does not apply.

Risk: one extra small GROUP BY per sampling interval. Roll back by reverting.

Stack

Part of a stack that moves CleanupRequired and CleanupFailed out of the sandbox lifecycle into their own cleanup state. Merge in order; this PR depends on #1558.

Walkthrough

Storage now exposes counts grouped by lifecycle state and cleanup state, while retaining the legacy lifecycle count. The API samples lifecycle and status counts independently under one database lock and emits status metrics. Missing cleanup states use the none label. Tests cover separate status buckets and zero counts for buckets that disappear from a later sample.

Possibly related PRs

  • perplexityai/SPACE#1581: Adds runtime dimensions to SandboxLifecycleCount and changes lifecycle_count, which the lifecycle sampler reads.
  • perplexityai/SPACE#1555: Separates stored lifecycle and cleanup state into state and cleanup_state, which this PR groups for status counts.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 8d522

This adds a new sandbox status-count metric backed by a small additional SQL query per sampling interval. The legacy metric keeps its series. Confirm CI passes on the head, since the storage SQL change was not compiled locally.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to eb090

The change adds read-only status reporting while preserving existing lifecycle metrics. The new labels come from known states, and no new security exposure or authority change was identified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The added reporting path covers aggregate rows in the existing sandbox-manager database and the existing telemetry emission path. It does not grant sandbox mutation authority or introduce a new remotely callable operation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Stored labels pass through lifecycle parsing and cleanup-label validation before becoming metric tags. The query is fixed SQL with no dynamic query parameters, and the status emitter receives only aggregate counts and the validated dimensions.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Separate sampler instances prevent cross-metric cleanup of remembered series. On a successful sample, current values are emitted before zeros for disappeared buckets, then the remembered set is replaced; subsequent unchanged samples do not repeat those zeros. Read failures retain prior state. This remains best-effort, in-memory telemetry rather than a durable cleanup or ownership transition.
Pre-merge checks: Passed 6

Check name Status Explanation
Title check Passed The title identifies the area and summarizes the lifecycle and cleanup state counts. It meets the title format requirements.
Description Follows The Pr Template Passed The description contains all four required items. It includes a summary, validation with “CI on this head,” severity and risk, and an AI assistance line identifying the tool and its contributions.
Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test Passed This PR adds a status metric and preserves the existing lifecycle metric. It does not fix an application defect, so the check does not apply.
Weakened Safeguards Are Justified Passed The diff does not weaken tests, assertions, lints, CI checks, or repository guards. It does not change review guidance files.
Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands Passed The diff changes Rust application and test files only. It does not change agent tooling configuration or add agent-executed content.

Exercise independence between the two lifecycle metric series.

The status test does not call the production emission path or include a SandboxLifecycleCount. Add a focused test at that boundary that removes one status bucket while retaining a lifecycle bucket, then asserts that only sandbox.worker.lifecycle.status_count receives the zero and sandbox.worker.lifecycle.count retains its value.

Review — 3 findings

Medium

  1. crates/l30_storage/sbx/mgr/store/src/db/tests.rs:1081: sandbox_status_counts_keep_each_lifecycle_and_cleanup_pair_apart still passes with cleanup_state dropped from the GROUP BY.
    • Why: the fixture has exactly one row per lifecycle (started, stopping+failed, deleting+failed), so GROUP BY state alone gives the same output, with SQLite picking a bare cleanup_state per group. Changing the query in sandboxes.rs to GROUP BY state / ORDER BY state left every test in the PR passing.
    • What would catch it: the plan's §9 case of plain, required and failed rows sharing one lifecycle. A fixture like that failed under the same mutation.
    • The comment: "The legacy count folds both into cleanup_failed" sits above an assertion that never calls the legacy count.
    • Suggested fix: a mixed fixture, also asserting sandbox_lifecycle_counts on it, would pin both metrics' queries.

Low

  1. lifecycle_metrics/tests.rs:66: status_buckets_…_zero_apart_from_lifecycle_buckets drives only one sampler. The separation it names is enforced by the types: LifecycleGaugeSampler<B> is generic over the bucket type, so the two samplers can't share a bucket set. Renaming it, or driving both samplers, would make the name accurate.
  2. sandboxes.rs:149-156: an unknown cleanup_state label reports unknown sandbox state '<label>'. The column CHECK makes it unreachable today; naming the cleanup state would make the message right if that changes.

The plan says the sampler sums the native groups into legacy buckets. Instead, the old metric keeps its own GROUP BY legacy_state query (sandboxes.rs:117), and both queries run under one db.lock(). The result is the same, so there's nothing to change in the code, only the plan.

Verified against 723feab0841cb168cba65c53ceb8233894b0014c.

What I ran:

  • A mixed fixture built with the real writers: plain, required and failed rows over stopping, deleting and suspending.
    • The legacy counts were {cleanup_failed: 4, cleanup_required: 3, deleting: 1, started: 1, stopping: 1, suspending: 1}, exactly today's series.
    • status_count kept all 10 (state, cleanup_state) groups apart.
    • Summing the native groups into legacy buckets reproduced the legacy counts.
  • A two-sampler test where (deleting, failed) disappears while cleanup_failed survives. The status metric emits one zero and the legacy metric emits none.
  • Mutations: removing the zeroing fails 3 tests; ignoring cleanup_state in the bucket fails the PR's sampler test; grouping the legacy count by state is caught only by the pre-existing sandbox_lifecycle_counts_groups_durable_rows.

The repo has no metric catalog or tag allowlist to check against. Not run: clippy, or the sampler's live loop.

Thanks @the-gigi-pplx. Rebased the stack on main (47f3aa39); this PR's head is now a9b9c65572b6.

  1. GROUP BY coverage. The fixture now has plain, required and failed rows sharing stopping, and plain and failed rows sharing deleting. It asserts sandbox_status_counts (all six groups) and the legacy sandbox_lifecycle_counts (both cleanup rows folded into cleanup_failed). The "legacy count" comment now sits above the assertion it describes.
  2. Test name. Renamed to status_buckets_name_the_cleanup_state_and_zero_a_disappeared_series_once; you're right that the types enforce the separation.
  3. Error message. An unknown cleanup_state label now reports unknown sandbox cleanup state.

I've updated the plan to say the old metric keeps its own GROUP BY legacy_state query.

sandbox.worker.lifecycle.count{state} folds a cleanup into the lifecycle,
so a stopping row whose cleanup failed and a deleting one both count as
cleanup_failed. Add sandbox.worker.lifecycle.status_count{state,
cleanup_state}, counted in SQL from the stored columns: state is always a
lifecycle state and cleanup_state is required, failed or none.

The old metric keeps its exact series. Each metric has its own sampler, so a
status series that disappears is zeroed once without touching the other.
